Sanchez was taken off in extra-time of Chile’s penalty shoot-out win against Argentina after a heavy challenge from Gabriel Mercado.

He will miss the games against MLS All-Stars and Chivas but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is confident it will not jeopardise his chances of being fit for the start of the new Premier League season with Arsenal’s opening game coming against Liverpool on August 14.
